fair price for '04 PSD
Crew cab, lariet, 11K miles, heated seats, backup sensors, adj pedals, elec seats (driver & pass). Tires are awfully worn for 11K miles (goodyear wranglers) this concerns me. Has had a plow on it ( I didn't think you could put one on a crew cab), but overall the truck looks to be in Ex cond. No issues found on carfax although truck came into the U.S. from Canada, NB. Dealer wants $37k+, he just bought the truck at auction. I am thinking $34 since I am loosing out on 1 full year of warranttee. Any thoughts would be apriciated.
Thanks

I just bought a new 05 SD PSD 4x4 Lariet F 250 SC everything except pedals and sunroof. I paid $48 Cdn (= $38300 US) includes shipping plus tax. Ford just sent me a further $500 rebate because I inquired on their website.Net $37850US The deals on 04s were no better than $3000 Cdn off 05s. The Cdn dollar is really strong now almost $.82 US . The market here used to send all low mileage newer cars stateside but not much any longer. That used Cdn 04 is priced way too high.

I would be concerned with the condition of the tires, take a good look at the brake pedal if it is worn, a good indicator that this was a heavily used plow truck. Who knows how much abuse it took. For a little extra scratch you could buy an 05 from Jeff.

I paid 26000 for my 2004 Regular Cab 4x4 F350 with PSD. It was a trade in with 13000 miles on it. The dealer threw in the 15K mile service for free.

I agree...bad deal. Fly to Dallas...by a new '04 $ 11,500 or more off list. Have your local Ford dealer Run an OASIS report from the VIN before buying a used 6.0. Won't matter if it is from Canada or not.

I'd fly to Dallas to save $11K in a second! I did run a carfax report on the truck, it showed only 1 owner, the service interval but did not say if it was registered by a person, business or other. I have been trying to find a way to search dealers out of Maine on the internet but so far have had no luck. There are no '04 CC 4x4 Lariets left in Maine. I know there are 3 in Mass that a local dealer found running a search but they want me to buy through them (they are a bsuiness after all) but they won't budge on the price.

) Once you get a fair quote, get dealer to apply any/all rebates, incentives, etc. You usually get the best deals on year-end leftovers.
